What goes into a house renovation?
We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
- Decoration and flooring if required

How is a house renovation approved in Whitchurch, South Glamorgan?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
What should I think about before starting?
- Houses empty for two years or more can qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on renovation.
- Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
